powerful speech:



jump to 4:20 for a little history lesson.
7:17 for specifics concerning the nuclear deal and this administration's actions to undermine a diplomatic solution.

i guess that means you are leaving now, since your invitation expired today?


I'm fine with leaving Iraq.

I think its likely to destabilize again and we will end up right back in but I'm cool with a withdrawal.

The problems began with western powers carving up geopolitically distinct areas into territories after WW1. A western power stomping them would just be the same thing over again. Honestly we should probably eliminate most governments and let the people reestablish their own countries. But thats not profitable for western powers so we won't.


Amen.

Or just eliminate governments.

So should I worry bout getting drafted or nah? Scrolled through 30 pages of this shit already!!


They've threatened to take out spiderman and songebob. Spiderman can go fucking fight his own battles but bringing spongebob into it?... is beyond evil...

Screw the draft this vile threat can only be stopped with several preemptive nuclear launches.

I think we need to be careful ascribing too much influence to neo-colonial powers and too little agency to complex indigenous movements. Wahhabism as a movement goes back centuries, as does it's alliance with the House of Saud.


Sunnis and Shiites being at each other's throat is a situation that even goes back a full 1400 years, and is one of THE key factors for the wars in Syria and Yemen, and in the domestic tensions in Iraq.

Iran has launched surface to surface missiles at Iraq's Ain Assad airbase which houses US troops.

Fuck.

well shit

Looks like Trump just might start a new war to distract everyone from other things. This is a sad fucking time we live in. Americans are going to die because of crazy man child president.

I can only assume his read line tweet was a real threat.
